AI living rent-free in both their heads — fears, guilty pleasures, and staying stubbornly human.

In this episode of Before You Freak Out, Jer and Mo tackle the thing that’s been living rent-free in both their heads: AI. Jer opens up about the genuine stress of working in tech and wondering if he’s the farmhand watching the tractor roll onto the field, while Mo wrestles with watching college students outsource their thinking to chatbots and lose the ability to struggle through hard problems on their own.
